Here's a timeline if you will: 2010: Hardy: Time for change and GSP to move on - sportsnet.ca WAP Quote:
or his part, White is not too keen on St-Pierre moving up in weight and he is clearly down on putting St-Pierre and Silva together.
"Nobody loves a super-fight more than I did, believe me," he said. "I'd love to put on a super-fight and I was all about doing that fight, GSP versus Anderson, until I saw Anderson move up to 205 (pounds). I mean this guys looks like he belongs at 205. How does he make (1)85?

Georges St. Pierre is done at welterweight, and everyone, except GSP and Dana White, want to see him take on UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva.

With St-Pierre working diligently on adding lean muscle to his frame in an effort to gain more weight, Silva, ironically enough, mentioned he would like to cut down to 170 lbs, perhaps creating another option for the UFC to put together this mega-fight.
But GSP noted: "Nobody (from the UFC) talked about a fight with me and Anderson Silva, it was not the plan. Nobody came up to me and tried to make this fight happen ... If he wants to come down to 170 to fight me, maybe I'm not going to have a choice. I'm the title holder and at 170, I want to fight the best."

St. Pierre is telling everyone who will listen that he's not thinking about Silva, he's thinking about Shields. He said it at a press conference in Toronto last month. He told Ariel Helwani last week that he hasn't even started thinking about whether it's realistic to move up to fight Silva at middleweight. He told Steve Cofield this week that he views moving up to middleweight as "a complete change of my life."

Who knows? I don't know. By the time I get there, maybe there's going to be a new other guy that will be the next big thing and I’ll be fighting that guy. Things go fast in mixed martial arts. You never know. There's a lot of guys that want to fight me.
